Tennis Scotland's director of development Matt Hulbert believes Andy Murray could be just the first of a number of young talents to emerge from north of the border - but only if investment is forthcoming.

The 18-year-old Murray has been one of the sensations of Wimbledon this year, reaching the third round where he was beaten by David Nalbandián in five sets last Saturday.

"We have had a group of players who have done very well in the ITF juniors," said Hulbert.

"At one stage, we had three players in the world top 25 under-18 - Jamie Baker, Andy and his brother Jamie - so the profile has started rising.

"All the investment is on the table for our national centre in Stirling. But, for programming, we are looking for investment for indoor centres we need around Scotland.

"If we can get people playing all year round - not just as a summer game - then we will have a really good chance of having a conveyor belt of players."

Hulbert is confident the success enjoyed by Murray will encourage investment in the sport to allow burgeoning talent to flourish. "Andy's success will help to raise investment in the sport, which is much needed.

"We have no real indoor facilities for such a large area as Scotland so we are looking for money to build."
